A man named Pendergrass OF Rose

of his smallest children out Of the build

slept up stairs, their ages ranging from 6

father when he discovered that not one Of
the boys had escaped, and that he was
forced to stand and listen to their
screams ani entrea:ies for help,

An English food inspector, Mr. James
Bell, finds that horse-fesh and beef can
not be positively distinguished BY exter-
nal appearance, but that the fat is a
reliable test. The horse.fat is fluid at a
temperature of 10 degrees, and has a
specific gravity at 100 degrees of about
9O8.7, while the fat of beef melts at 10
to 12O degrees, and is considerably lighter.
The low melting point of the fat will

PEOPLES COLUMN.

MEssRs EDIToRs.-My sheep were wor-
ried by dogs three nights last week. The
damages the appraisers awarded me was
S35. One of the sheep was imported
from England, and cost S45. Ten dollars
more than was allowed me for all. 1
bred from imported sheep the ewes
costing S45 each, and the ram SIS. l am
not dissatisfied with the appraisersaward
it is the law that limit the damage at not
more than IS for each sheep.
A few years ago the farmers got up
bill, numerously signed, and sent it down
to the Legislature in care of the late Jas.
T. Ray at the time he was senator. That
bill made it the duty of any person own
ing or harboring dog to take out a
licence every year. instead of assessing
the dogs by the present law. The Legis-
lature did not pass the bill. If they had
the amount paid for dog licences would
be three times what is collected by the
present assessment law, and half the use
less ours that are kept and halfstarved
now, would not be in existence.
The reason the bill was not passed was
because every man who took out a
license to keep dog would be entitled
to vote for the Legislat ors of the State.
There is, and has been, for the last ten
years, ten dogs kept by colored people
who live close to my place, and | believe
only one dollar has ever been paid for
dog tax forten dogs for 10 years where
if the license law had been in force 500
would have been paid for licenses. Look
ing at the depressed state of the agricul-
tural interest, and the low price of the
produce of the farmer, we are paying too
dear to support any political party where
the taxpayers loose 800 to prevent five
citizens from voting.
At the time the license law was pre-
scented to the Legislature, they did
amend the assessment laws allowing the
appraisers of sheep, that was killed by
dogs, to assess them at full value of the
sheep, instead of the s. limit for each
sheep. The next session they repealed
ii, to its present state. This is the en-
couragement and protection the farmers
get to keep good stock. The result has
been that the farmer has to protect him
self What way is he to do it? Either
abandon the raising of sheep which is
the best animal we have to produce food
and clothing at the least labor and ex-
pense. The other way to protect them
selves is to keep lot of scrub sheep
which will not cost him over 50 per
head. They will produce but very lit
tic wool and very poor mutton for the
people TO cat.
One half of the farmers that would
keep sheep and profit by it are prevent
ed for if they have good sheep they are
afraid of the dogs. If they keep scrub
sheep there is no profit in them. This
is the result of preventing few colored
citizens from voting to keep one political
party in power at the expense of the
labor and industry of the State.

stand he intends to wander in that direc-
ton every fall. The incest part about

he will please accept our thanks. They
were delicious and it made us feel like
taking trip somewhere. We shall wait

Eighteen Miles to a Party.

This seems quite distance to drive to
a sociable or more properly speaking-a
gathering of the elite. We know of two
persons who drove this distance. The
destination was at or near Avondale, Pa,
and the starting point was from-where
We shan't tell. These two people ex-
pressed themselves to us as having had a
most enjoyable time, and were sor-
ry when the time arrived to go home.
The question arises, is there no society
in the neighborhood where these two
people live Is this the cause of their
going away such a distance. We sug-
gest that they now give soiree and in
vite those people whom they met at
Avondale. Is it possible that sociable
dance can't be gotten up at the residence
of some of our good farmer friends? We
leave them to decide. F.B.A.
